Really the best dog food you can find is finding something that works for your dog Some do wonderful on diets like these, some do not. Yorkies are prone to Pancreatitis. It can be triggerd by a number of things, high fat diets being one of them. I just personally never felt comfortable feeding something with a very high fat content to a breed that has such issues with Pancreatitis. However, Taycie was never able to tolerate foods that were 15% or higher. It was just to rich for her.

Personally before feeding a higher protein/fat diet I would have a blood test done and discuss it with your vet. This will help make sure her kidneys are functing properly. High protein diets are not bad, but feeding a dog higher protein diets with unknown issues can lead to problems.
